    FxF and H&E Equipment both have reimbursement programs for Red Wings. I think they both were giving up to $100 back for a new pair, but then again they both required steel-toe boots to work there.

    Never owned them. But two years sounds like a good life span for work boots.

    I buy these cheap sketchers.

    I used to do red wings, but the soles never survived the Florida heat for more than a 10 months. They’d melt.

    these sketchers I get about 6-12 months out of em. They’re light weight, and wide for duck feet people. They use to be cheaper, but I think they’re becoming popular

    If you buy from a Red Wing shop, show your union card if you have one. They'll give you a discount.

    I usually get that when I’m waiting for some idiot to make a left turn where they have no business even trying to so I can make a right turn without running over the curb.

    The galling thing is there usually is a traffic light a block or two either way where the aforementioned idiot could’ve come out.

    Had me some fun today…. Had a residential delivery today, and managed to get stuck in some snow.

    Once she started sliding down the little hill that was it. Had to have a rotator come get me out. At least I had some company. Lol.

    It wasn’t to awfully bad. The dog was more than happy to play fetch while waiting for the hook to get there. Lol.

    Hopefully they don’t take the wrecker bill out of your check.
